Hi all, Re the keel surgery thread - found these in my stash of pics I've saved, often from posts on this list. Originals are too big to have been posted though so must have got them some other way. These should be small enough to post, if someone wants the full size images I can send direct to your email. Folder I saved them in is called "Jim Hymes keel surgery" and that's all I know other than what they show - portions of keel cut open and some removal of rusted steel-resin innards.
